I have a 97 plymouth grand voyager that I have had for 2 yrs. When I bought the van everything was working properly. For about a year now I have been having problems with the electrical system. First my cruise control stopped working,then my horn,now my blinkers only work sometimes and alot of times I have to turn on my bright lights for the blinkers to work. The airbag light is always on which means it is not functioning correctly. These are big problems with the wiring system and it is very expensive to have the whole thing rewired. My husband is a mechanic and he said it will cost over $1000 to have everything fixed correctly.
Dt*: the contact stated that the wiring harness for the airbags was causing a electrical issue that shorted out the ignition switch. There no events that lead up to the failure. The vehicle stalled and lost all power to the dashboard. There was no accident.
Consumer stated that air bags and horn did not work. She took vehicle to the mechanic, and was told that there was a recall on the air bags. But, consumer did not receive a recall notice. Also, rear view mirror did not work properly.
1997 voyager stahls often. Come to a complete stop at red light, accelerate and the engine stalls. No warning and no warning lights displayed. We start the van up again and continue on. Also, on the highway we had two instances of this van stalling. Was able to restart and continue on. Need help, what is causing this very dangerous situation?
I purchased a vehicle in 1997 from a friend. All of a sudden my horn stopped working. I have replaed the fuses. I have checked all the wires. I have replaced the horn. Their is nothing wrong. I think the problem is where the airbag is behind the steering wheel. What do I do. I dont think that is my responsibility if their is a problem with the air bag is it?
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning vehicle shut down and will not restart.
All gauges on vehicle drop to zero except the gas gauge. Can't tell what speed you are going. Can't tell what gear I am in. Automatic doors locks and alarm stop working. Blower works but no AC or heat. Was told it was the body control module.
The vehicle experienced a fuel leak. *jb the electrical system has not worked while vehicle was running. (window, blinkers, and the radio) restarting the vehicle solves the problem each time. Scc
